Matrix raid with two 640s

[exe163]

Hi, I have two WD 640 Blacks, I am thinking about performing 300GBs RAID0 and the rest in RAID1 and Intel's Matrix raid (?) to maximize performance? I have a Rampage 2 Extreme x58 mobo, How do you do it? I have done RAID config before, but never on a Intel mobo. Is there a special way to do this "Matrix RAID" or is it just simpily RAID0 with part of my drives and the rest in RAID 1?

I am on the screen called "Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM ..... ICH10R wRAID5 Copyright....". I am allowed to do RAID 1, 0, and 5. What "Strip Size" should I put into the my RAID0 main drive?

Thanks in advance

During the setup, it will ask you the size if the first partition. You will then be able to make a second array with the leftover space.
